a boiling point as disputed border posts are seized by cost of the forces local service set up barricades at the deployment of the new and also the customs officials on the fronts here which was previously on their service control. now when times are hard heritage is at risk and next the u.s. had a protective historical sites and tells r t why is social upheaval is threatening the world's most valuable sites. you know bocal the you know secretary general it's really great to have you with us and i don't know over two centuries ago george byron reflected and asked and saluting you would think that two centuries later in twenty first centuries because

we think we're more civilized things are better but are they really better for instance in egypt or libya i would say definitely much much better of course a very direct comparison says the danger of thing but let me first say that the overall concept the feeling of the necessity to preserve the chimp culture. of course it's an old one but at the same time we have it has the need to have you know reading and meaning so i believe we are very successful on the whole of course you mentioned something. very important from their approach in the plea we see conflicts we see internal try. we see a war and very often. such monuments which are on the world carried to kill east or even import the monuments we try not to get on the world here if you are being affected by the destroyed or damaged or there are some disputes and of course

it's only deplorable that this is happening now or to really want to accentuate a libya just because it's on everybody's mind right now do you know this for us because sites there have been damaged or bombed from the very first day man for size these some of the conflict i have raunch the appeals to all the involved parties. i have spoken to. then that to nato i have spoken also to the to believe me and so i have appealed to the libyan people. to preserve this monuments you know after the i mean one tenth of the conflict will be sending commissions there but there is another aspect also when so true in such cases which i think is important that apart from their meeting monuments. as an aftermath of such a conflict it's another tendencies emerging and another i would say very unfortunate

it's maddening i will get to that later but i really want to ask you. after something like this happens one joined a call flaked cultural heritage is destroyed or damaged does anyone answer for that is anyone persecuted for that afterwards i can't say that situations have very different. situations for example in some of the african countries affected by conflict there let me take to give you another example of a similar case but rather from some of the mystic point of view of domestic social strife of civil war in fact and this is the democratic republic of congo where we have for their true parks which i described on the world heritage listed in fact they represent an incredible important goal sole. means of securing.

the border city and play a huge role in the climate change. there even after and i'm talking particularly of the beautiful going to park which is seen the east part of the country where most of the violence and civil war was waged in the now i hold the situation is of course improving and we could be in the peeling for a long time to the government when i say we. i mean the world heritage committee and also me is that the general to the government will take concrete measures and i'll find that he does change very together with the prime minister at the very brought them the confidence he. drafted to draw and plan for preserving of safeguarding of this important them park with all the concrete measures so for doing decreasing violence for. educating some of the warriors who are there participating give that educating them and giving them the

feeling that preserving it's very important that peace for their own interests to try to interest to reintegrate them in society it's a very complex issue that's why i say that to situations have different and i know that you and you know it's going general always appealed to protect the cultural heritage different countries but just organization actually has to mean its or the arsenal to do it to protect it we don't have we have not because we don't have a book casks or something like that but in very many cases similar cases and in this particular let me just mention haiti because it's a different there but it's once again a natural disaster to be pretty worse effect on the world heritage we work with the partners they put on the few who are in fact trusted with the practical day to day i would say business of post securing. the

order and the record structure in the particular country you've mentioned another huge problem which is smuggling antiquities now some estimates have it that the turnover from smuggling antiquities is almost as big as track trafficking human trafficking and arson arms sales is that really the case you're entirely right that the trafficking of objects of. approaching the thing nowadays equals the trafficking of put a human being. drax and it's a very alarming new tendency in a situation that we're seeing all over the world. and that's why we're very much committed to strengthening international cooperation through the one nine hundred seventy in the school convention on the prohibiting the ability the trafficking of cultural objects it's important to secure more education to this convention nowadays we have more than one hundred twenty countries that have it here to this convention and there are positive tendencies in the international corporation these

last two years some of the countries that represent the biggest markets open or cultural objects like belgium and the netherlands so i have read the fight to the convention literally a year ago we are cooperating fully with the. new also phenomenon with some of the because. i personally have visited recently the headquarters of. christie's and we decided to start the cooperation in terms of capacity building of sense to say the sensitizing the public opinion and all the stakeholders we work with the of course we've been there paul the international customs union and i believe that encouraging the international cooperation them of countries by concrete examples of returning said objects of. i have for also personally assisted a very moving ceremony when kennedy returned to my country of origin of

a good twenty one thousand objects exported from the country to can the debt and this return this corporation was based on ninety seven to mescal convention there was no other legal way of doing it well you've said that major auction houses have been very responsive to your appeal question remains who are the smugglers and where. people who buy those objects well i mean the smugglers are. the same so while the same smuggler set up doing the smuggling of arms. for human beings and otherwise unfortunately all the illegal trafficking is the most i would call but i stand there always people on both sides of the who are doing that but the important thing is called the countries. of origin to have the means and the only and the capacity to curb this smuggling in on the other side also

ethics to have the moral norms false all of the different parts to do it and not to do it in fact we have done that we have. drafted a called the vet fix. a trade for cultural goods i think this is a very important that it's taken on board by all the different and then of course the national registration to have the respective. introduction of norms international legislations sold that then such smuggler cyprus security impunity in this case is a very bad signal if you think there is a connection between arms sales drug seeking and smuggling antiquities well. i think yes we have read legacies in the reports and of course because these are a big money as you said and. very valuable things and as long as there is

such an interest in bet that there might be only yes what do you think is the money from sales use for it could be used to finance new wars for instance yes i mean like all the if you go out there smuggling it's corruption of course it's also a conflict it's it's horse it's all different kinds of illegal activities but what is most important is the. deprives whole countries of their heritage it deprives people up for their identity. after all they are all part of their identity need has there i would say a long term perspective on the feelings and culture in these countries you can throw away you can burn tracks you can throw away weapons somewhere but you can't return and what these lost in terms of have carried gets enough culture you can

then find to substitute that by something called these countries thank you very much for this interview thank you also for the scientists. well when one deals with us to realize that this tremendous amounts of damage that are done not just human damage but damage to the physical environment in which the battlefield takes place tremendous amounts of damage done by early bombs by napalm boy chemicals that whether it's on a sonic boom six factory marine mammals or it's the burning oil fields in iraq or destroyed coral reefs in the pacific for purposes the list just goes on and on the geneva conventions of nineteen forty nine states that are shall be taken in the war

to protect involved against widespread long term and severe damage united states although it is accepted almost all of the provisions political one has taken exception to that. in the faraway land where human.
